Mon, 05 Nov 2012 00:00:00 +01002012-11-16T09:38:11Z<p>We've decided to push the main branches of the OAR repository on github. The objective is to ease the way to make patches for people not in the OAR team.</p>
<p>So, you'll find the oar github repository here :</p>
<blockquote>
<p><a href="https://github.com/oar-team/oar">https://github.com/oar-team/oar</a></p>

OAR in the Debian Archiveshttp://oar.imag.fr//news/20120601_oar-debian/http://oar.imag.fr//news/20120601_oar-debian/
Fri, 01 Jun 2012 16:48:28 +02002012-06-01T15:02:39Z<p>Since version 2.5.2, OAR is in the Debian repositories and OAR will be a part of
the Debian/Wheezy distribution.</p>
<blockquote>
<p><a href="http://packages.qa.debian.org/o/oar.html">http://packages.qa.debian.org/o/oar.html</a></p>
</blockquote>
<p>So OAR benefits now from the Debian repositories. It is currently in the
unstable repository, and will probably move in the testing repository during the next
week. As soon as it is in the testing repository, there will be a backport for
squeeze.</p>
<pre><code>deb http://&lt;debian_mirror&gt;/debian unstable main
deb http://&lt;debian_mirror&gt;/debian testing main
deb http://&lt;debian_mirror&gt;/debian-backports squeeze-backports main
</code></pre>
<p>Our own Debian repositories (http://oar-ftp.imag.fr/oar/*/debian) will
be kept only for development purposes and for maintaining the 2.4 branches. The
2.5 stable branches will be removed in the next months.</p>

OAR 2.5.1 releasehttp://oar.imag.fr//news/20120120_oar-2.5/http://oar.imag.fr//news/20120120_oar-2.5/
Fri, 20 Jan 2012 00:00:00 +01002012-06-01T14:48:28Z<p>The first stable release of the 2.5.x series is out.</p>

list</a> | <a href="http://oar.imag.fr//news/../changelog/2.5/">Changelog</a>.</p>
<p>A lot of work has been done between the branches 2.4.x and 2.5.x. Among them:</p>
<p><strong>A lot of improvements and optimization of the RestFull API</strong></p>
<p>OAR 2.5 provides a Restfull API to submit/query/administrate the batch scheduler. The API now implements pagination and uses FastCGI for better performance.</p>
<p><strong>A better installation procedure</strong></p>
<p>The source code has been reorganized and the installation scripts have been
improved to ease both the installation process and the packaging maintenance.
OAR can be now installed on the Debian/Redhat like operating systems with
the same procedure. And supporting another system should be easy (provided
that the system fullfill the needed dependencies).</p>
